Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[LaagerVol]

Still taking a risk on him.

Missed 90% of 2020 and this obviously this season. Not sure how much I trust him holding up.

I’d ask for more if I was the Titans.

Trading for Dak would be a horrible move. Way too many holes in the roster to saddle the team with that big salary.

 

[OrangeMoundTNVol]

Big year ahead for him. I’m hoping for over 500 yards.

 

[volKano]

He got better as the year went on, presumably once he was recovered from injury.

Exactly. Coming off an injury and in a new system.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

It's just optics. You have a historically bad loss, you're going to drop more than you probably deserve. Not saying I agree, but that's always how it's going to work.

If Duke loses by 30 to someone, they're going to drop a lot too.

No I know why the AP dropped us, but now I’m confused how Houston is above us in KenPom, supposedly eliminates optics

 

[GVol1966]

I wonder if Deion will demand to have Dak traded to the Titans for the number one pick, so he can draft his son at number one?

I don’t think he’ll have to trade up that high

 

[VOLINVONORE]

And my question still remains, are paying for lesser talent because that’s all we can close or is our budget too low to sign high profile guys. I still don’t think it’s the latter. We’ve done a good job closing on a lot top DL prospect with Rodney Garner and QBs with heupel, not so much the other positions with the occasion 5 star like Matthews and Sandrrs. I dunno

We have 10 million few dollars to spend each year than teams like Texas, Ohio State, Oregon, and a few other teams. They can buy more 4-5 star players than we can. This is pretty simple to understand.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

I don’t like hearing this one bit.

*I used to like Dave Hooker and enjoyed his insight when he was on WNML 99.1 but he's really disappointed me the past few years. Anymore, it just seems like he just wants to stir the pot to get VOL twitter riled up

 

[Adam Sandler]

Wonder how Cowboys fans will react when Deion trades Dak away for his son.

Ain’t gonna trade him he’d cut him and draft his son 12th overall.

Actually you’re right titans need a qb and Deion wouldn’t be able to resist getting his son the number 1 overall pick.

 

[iuvol]

I thought it was said that we have a NIL group second to none, I guess that is not true

 

[TheBigOne10]

Bet the Vikings wish they didn’t screw over Dobbs now! Losers

 

[marcusluvsvols]

Most drag strips require a parachute for sub 10s cars, just saying. That’s wicked fast if true

This. Bet its true too.Its all wheel drive and electric motors make the same torque at 1RPM that they make at 10,000RPM. Instant power.

A 10hp electric golfcart will snap your head back if a buddy stomps on it when you were unprepared. A 600 or 800hp(didn't look it up for the new model), all wheel drive electric car like that Tesla has insane acceleration that gas powered vehicles just cant match from a standstill. They are heavy and dont corner that well being 4 door family sedans...but stoplight to stoplight a regular model S will blow the doors off a Mustang or Camaro etc. That plaid version is down in the 2sec flat range 0-60 and will leave Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and Porsche 911 turbos in an 1/8th or 1/4 mile. They are that fast. I dont own an electric vehicle nor have any intentions to...but the Teslas are so much faster than gas powered cars its not even fair. Its an apples to oranges comparison. So weird to see something move so fast and quiet...I dont like it honestly. All you can hear is tire noise a little bit of electric motor. Anything that fast should be loud

 

[Palm Beach Vol]

It's not gonna change anything. Collectives will still exist. Top players will still get offered exorbitant deals from school boosters.

If I am the G M or owner, I would not even look at it twice before I threw it down the drain. You can not play those games with a Billion dollar franchise. Trade the pick and get 3-4 first round picks this year and/or next year. The Titians have too many positions which need to be upgraded to become competitive.

Sam Darnold going to darnold. I knew better, I should have bet the guy that is a winner, Stafford

 

[SPEDVoL14]

Nico gonna be running for his life with these portal misses. Can’t imagine the meeting with the coaches included playing a bunch of young OL who haven’t played meaningful snaps to begin to develop.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

A lot of things are said that are not true.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

I think BOT just offered to give me a wax. What a pervert.

 

[engineerVOL]

If I'm not mistaken, Hawaii's heritage is Hawaiian.

Sounds racist.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

I hesitate to ask... what part of the interview reinforced the narrative?

That he's a family man and values his role as a father and when traveling with the team he reads books?

Ram has many Leather bound Books he has read and his former Titans office smells of Rich Mahogany

 

[beneVOLence]

I wish we could have had Young and Verse at the same time.

 

[85SugarVol]

I thought it was said that we have a NIL group second to none, I guess that is not true

I think we were one of the first to effectively leverage it, and I do believe we are probably pretty innovative in that space.

But there’s just no way we are leveraging the same $ as Texas, or Oregon, or Ohio St. And I’m not sure it would be fair to expect us to.

I think we were the most organized when NIL began. Meaning, Many schools had numerous collectives initially while TN and one , Spyree. Now, everyone is more organized with the understanding to have 1-2 primary collectives.

TN Big $$$ Donors:

C Ergen - billionaire
Haslam Family - billionaires
Charlie Anderson - several hundred millionaire
Thornton - several hundred millionaire +
Dr Min Kao - billionaire (caveat - most if not all donations are for education)
John Tickle - 75-125 mill
Peyton Manning - 250 mill+
Randy Boyd - 100 mill+ (???)

That’s unacceptable

By all means offer the evidence to refute what’s been said.
